Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To approve the Highways and Transport Capital Programme for 2024/25 and its implementation as set out within the report.

Decision:

RESOLVED that the Highways and Transport Capital Programme for 2024/25 is approved.

Reasons for the decision:

The proposals seek to facilitate transport in line with the council’s Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3) and ensure that the highway is maintained in as good a condition as resources allow, having due regard to the council’s intervention policy based on network condition

Alternative options considered:

       i.         Failure to approve the Highways and Transport Capital Programme would prevent the delivery of the council’s obligations as a Highway Authority and be contrary to the position set out in the council’s adopted Transport Policy (LPT3).

 

     ii.         Given the demands placed upon highway maintenance funding levels in previous years, it would not be appropriate to allocate resources to anything other than the priorities identified through methodical and objective needs assessments.
